Applesauce Spice Cake

Ingredients:
1/2 cup molasses
1 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1-3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons ginger (optional)

Directions:
Combine the molasses and applesauce in a large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients and stir into the liquid. (If the batter seems very dry, add a little more applesauce or a little water.)

Bake in a nonstick or pan-sprayed 8 x 8-inch baking pan, in a 350-degree oven, for 30-45 minutes or until it tests done.

Notes:
The optional ginger makes an acceptable gingerbread. You can leave out the ginger and add 3 or 4-tablespoons of cocoa for a chocolate cake. Depending on personal taste, you may wish to add additional sweetener if you try the chocolate version.
